Withdrawal of support for TLS 1.0 and 1.1

IBM Cloud Video will withdraw support for TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1 across many cloud products and services on March 15, 2018. TLS 1.2 will continue to be supported for any IBM Cloud product or service that is withdrawing support for TLS 1.0 and 1.1.

Why are we making this change?

This is part of IBM's commitment to offering a cloud that is secure to the core and in alignment with industry best practices for security and data privacy.

What is TLS?

The TLS Protocol is used to encrypt communications across a network to ensure that transmitted data remains private. There are three released versions of TLS: 1.0, 1.1, and 1.2. All HTTPS connections use TLS. HTTPS is the predominant method of ensuring that your connections to IBM Cloud products and services are trusted and secure. Some IBM Cloud products and services allow secure connections using the WebSocket Secure (WSS) protocol which also uses TLS. Withdrawal of support for TLS 1.0 and 1.1 covers both HTTPS and WSS connections.
